Supercars can bandaid for a while and in some ways already have been given the Mustang v Camaro rivalry that we're heading for. GT3-style cars will probably still be around once that's done and I imagine that'll be an easy if not especially visionary step to make. And besides, I can't exactly see Australia leading the charge in banning the combustion engine.
The problem is really what you want long term. One day the ICE won't be in any road car and the question is where you want to be when that happens. Racing without them is a strange thought, I agree, but I think that's where we're heading outside of the niche and short tracks.
